The Minneapolis Star-Tribune has a nice story on former Ferris State University football assistant coach Matt Limegrover, now the offensive coordinator at the University of Minnesota, and how he became acquainted with Jerry Kill, the head coach of the Golden Gophers.

Matt Limegrover

It's a cool story of mutual respect as the two schools were on opposite sides of the Ferris-Saginaw Valley State University rivalry (when Kill served as head coach SVSU).

Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Jan. 28: That's because Limegrover, a Pittsburgh native who also interned for
the Pirates, eventually became an assistant coach at Ferris State in
Michigan, where he met a bright young head coach at nearby Saginaw
Valley State, a guy named Jerry Kill.

"I remember how I met him -- his offensive line whipped our butts one
weekend," Kill said. "As I got to know more about him, I had a great
deal of respect for how he did things."

When Kill was hired at Emporia (Kansas) State in 1999, he offered
Limegrover a job on his staff, and they've been together ever since. Kill calls Limegrover one of the smartest men he's ever met --
"Perfect on the ACT [test], University of Chicago, master's degree from
Northwestern," Kill said. "He's got a tremendous mind" -- but the
Gophers' new offensive coordinator said he doesn't consider himself an
X's-and-O's wizard as so many coaches try to style themselves.

The story goes on to get you into the philosophy of who Limegrover is as a coach and helps you get to know him as a man.
